NORWICH — The Upper Valley Agricultural Association has purchased nearly 35 acres of land on Route 5 to serve as a new, permanent home for the Norwich Farmers’ Market. The Norwich Farmers’ Market was founded in 1977, according to the nonprofit’s website. There are also plans to use the space for cooking classes and other agriculture-based workshops, according to a description on the Upper Valley Agricultural Association’s website. The Norwich Development Review Board approved the Upper Valley Agricultural Association’s plans last November. “(Upper Valley Agricultural Association) is excited to partner with Twin Pines Housing Trust by selling the necessary acreage for Twin Pines to develop much-needed affordable housing in Norwich,” according to a statement on the association’s website.
